The incident happened Tuesday when a woman in Lee County was reportedly assaulted and forced int a car against her will in Tupelo and driven to Oxford.

In Oxford, the woman said she managed to exit the vehicle and was picked up by a Good Samaritan passing by. The concerned citizen drove the woman to the Oxford Police Department where she reported the alleged crime.
